i know that halloween has been over for about 12 hours now. but there are a few things that annoy me and i have to get them off of my chest.
1. people who don't follow the rules.
the rules are fairly simple, right? porch light on - you go to the house to trick or treat. no light - no treats. simple. you don't go to the doors without lights on. you don't leave your light on if you aren't home or have no intention of opening the door. it's really not hard. and if you are having a block party and you are all gonna hang out at one house with your bowls of candy - don't leave the lights on at your houses anyway...
2. i don't like propaganda with my candy.
i don't care what good cause you are a part of. i don't want peta stickers. coupons and information for body works at the science center. cereal baseball card prizes that you also gave us the past 3 years in a row. just fork over the kit kats and leave the rest to bumper stickers.
3. kids want junk.
while it's nice to think of the health of the kids and all, but most normal children don't eat sunflower seeds. air popped popcorn isn't usually good either. and don't even get us started on raisins.
4. make my kid work for her treat.
ask her about her joke. at least try to figure out what her costume is or acknowledge it. i spent a lot of time in good will for crying out loud!!!

Don't move away from St. Louis. It is the only place in the world that believes people need to tell jokes to get candy. I've done some research. Nobody I know (not from St. Louis) has ever heard of such a thing.
You forgot to mention in your rules that kids should just take ONE piece of candy unless told otherwise. Not one DOZEN. One PIECE. :(
The damn kids weren't even saying "Trick or Treat" (as per custom here) before ravaging my bag of candy. Or thank you.

Getting things off your chest? Do you have a new evening job across the river?
